A West Kerry Sinn Féin representative has voiced concerns around the deposit return scheme.
Robert Brosnan, who is a party rep in the Corca Dhuibhne area, says the system won’t change anything, as plastic bottles are still collected and sent to a waste treatment plant.
He also raised concerns around the scheme's consideration for the elderly, the disabled and for small shops.

Mr Brosnan says a different system – which includes glass - would make more sense and be in line with the circular economy.
